AmberSeal Wide-Mouth Glass Jar - 32oz
Engineered for premium light-sensitive storage, the AmberSeal™ 32oz Wide-Mouth Jar combines critical UV protection with exceptional functionality. Crafted from ultraviolet-filtering brown glass, it blocks 99% of harmful UV rays (290-450nm spectrum) to preserve volatile compounds in hops, essential oils, and botanical extracts. The extra-wide 89mm aperture accommodates easy filling and access for scoops or hands, while precision-engineered threading ensures airtight compatibility with standard canning lids. Ideal for craft brewers aging specialty beers, herbalists storing tinctures, or gourmet producers packaging olive oils, its neutral pH glass prevents chemical interactions that compromise product integrity.

FAQ
1.How does brown glass compare to green/clear glass for preserving hop acids in craft beer?
Brown glass provides superior photoprotection by absorbing 90% of 350-500nm wavelengths—the critical range where riboflavin-sensitized reactions degrade iso-alpha acids into skunky 3-MBT compounds. Independent testing (ASBC Beer-25 method) shows brown glass prevents light-struck off-flavors for 12+ months versus 3 months in green glass and 30 days in clear glass under typical retail lighting, making it essential for IPA preservation without costly additives.
2.Why choose wide-mouth over narrow-neck designs for viscous products like honey or cannabis concentrates?
The 89mm opening reduces viscosity-induced flow resistance by 40% (per Hagen-Poiseuille calculations), enabling faster filling line speeds and minimizing product retention on jar walls. For end-users, it permits direct tool access for high-resin extracts that solidify in narrow jars—reducing waste by 18% and eliminating "product left behind" complaints. The design also simplifies commercial cleaning validation with straight-wall access for CIP systems.
3.Does the brown tint impact product visibility for quality control inspections?
While reducing visible light transmission by 30% versus clear glass, our amber formulation maintains 85% transmittance at 550nm (amber inspection wavelength). This allows visual detection of particulates or phase separation during QC checks under standard amber-safe LED lighting (per NSF/ANSI 55 requirements), balancing protection with inspectability better than opaque alternatives.
4.What makes this jar suitable for acidic contents (vinegars, kombucha) that degrade soda-lime glass?
The glass formula incorporates zirconium oxide to raise acid resistance to Class HGB1 per ISO 695—withstanding 5% acetic acid immersion for 365 days with <0.5mg/dm² weight loss. Combined with a non-reactive epoxy-phenolic lid lining, it prevents pH-driven sodium leaching that causes cloudiness in inferior jars, ensuring clarity in high-acid applications even after thermal processing.
